Chapter 531

"If you collect all seven badges, you will earn the qualification to go to Zhidao, where the final challenge awaits. The prize is guaranteed not to disappoint you, of course, though the challenge itself is quite difficult!"

In other words, only by completing the exploration activity first can you earn the qualification to challenge the gym, and only by collecting all the badges can you finally proceed to Zhidao.

Undeniably, Bai Jing's interest was piqued!

"How do we start?"

"Open the Trainer APP, scan the QR code here, and it will guide you through the entire exploration activity!"

The two did as told!

After scanning, 957 popped up an option with eighteen attributes, requiring one to be selected.

The two looked at the staff member and asked, "What does this mean?"

"I can't tell you, since it's a challenge, it must be fair!"

Looking at that smiling face, the two of them almost wanted to throw a punch.

"Never mind, just choose what you're good at!"

Deng Xin wanted to choose the Water attribute, but was stopped by Bai Jing.

"What's the rush? This is obviously a test!"

"Do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know, but there are clues!"

Bai Jing analyzed: "According to him, the activity has already started. Most people facing this situation would choose the attribute they are good at; that's the safest approach, but..."

"Why not choose the attribute that counters it? Wouldn't that be more advantageous?"

"He just said the badges here are called Exploration Badges. The previous ones were named after attributes, but this one is so special. Isn't there a connection?"

As Bai Jing spoke, he watched the staff member's expression. Seeing the look of surprise on his face, he knew his guess was correct!

"So I guess this activity must have a lot to do with attributes, and even the final gym challenge!"

"I'm right, aren't I?"

The last sentence was directed at the staff member!

The staff member said nothing but gave him a thumbs up!

Impressive; he rarely saw such a meticulous Trainer. The staff member couldn't help but look forward to Bai Jing's performance!

"So choose the one that gets countered?"

"Yes!"

"Alright, I'll listen to you! I choose... the Fire attribute!"

Water counters Ground, Rock, and Fire; Deng Xin chose the one that countered the most.

Water extinguishes Fire; when Fire meets Water, it's basically over!

After selecting the attribute, an introduction popped up.

"Every Pokémon on the island is represented by a number. Each Pokémon wears a bead. Defeat it to obtain the bead, which contains the code to continue the activity."

The two looked but didn't quite understand, so they could only ask the staff member for help!

"Can you explain that more clearly?"

"You'll understand as you follow the guidance, but there's no harm in telling you in advance!"

The staff member said to Deng Xin, "You click 'Next' first!"

Deng Xin did as told!

The interface popped up a question: Which of the following attributes counter the Fire attribute?

This was a multiple-choice question!

The staff member explained, "After answering the question correctly, the system will give you a number. Your task is to find the Pokémon representing that number and obtain the bead from it."

"The bead contains a code. After entering the code, the next question will appear. Answering correctly will reveal the number of the next Pokémon, and so on, until collecting seven beads counts as completing the challenge!"
